          I have read several english novel, to be honest, The purpose to reading those books not only for learing english but to give me a new way to research anyother culture. the problem is I am not so enjoy at reading to compare with reading chinese writings. for example,  the human name and place name metioned was so elusive and meaningless to me ...farther more,I can hardly find the story like struggle for leaving, learning, hard working and other sorts of social problem taking place in China. do you feel the same way? how about your opinion?

I still insist that plot you metion is pivotal, if you find a book you are really interested in, you may find new words was no problem. I like Jane Eyre, it use narrative way make me easy to create resonate of my own experience. another novel 'coral kiss' only two protagonist's love story. which always have a thread to link form beginning to the end.
by the way, for many of you talk about new words, I don't know you way to cope with when you meet them. my own way is like this , i take much time reading on the computer, use youdao(words software) to pick up and save it in textbook , when it amount more than 2000 or so, I will edit them in word processing tools and print it for further remeber, cause those word you first meet in context, you can easily recall it if not a long time past, at least lot of them. that is my way of learning words and phrases, so what's all of you way of learning?
